HOW THEY STAND.
Assets and Liabilities Of the Firm,
of Petersen 4. RIo;i,ia


Attorney John w. White has filed the
schedule of Petersen & Blaikic's liabili-
ties. Their assets are $4,000, and their
liabilities figure up $4,000 While their
liabilities seem to be very large it NAV
be explained that they include $4,000
worth of paper, given partly as accom-
mediation, of which $4,000 was for stock
i'll Colby, Duncan IL Co.. and large
amount OF paper was given for goods
which were to arrive in the months of
September, October, November and De-
cember. But for this accommodation
paper the firm would seem to be solvent.
In addition there are about S15,OO worth
OF goods claimed by the firm to be on
consignment and not included in the
assets. If this is the case the assets
should be about S75, ,00O, ,and if the courts
should annul the contracts with Colby,
Duncan d Co. the liabilities would be
cut down almost one-half.

night over the remains of George
Gracely, laboror, who was killed by

blame to the contractors. The evidence
showed that the cable was tested 10 sun
port thirty-nine tons, and that the stone

A MOST SERIOUS CHARGE.
Charles Packer in Court on Charge
of Attempting to Outrage Lit
tie Girl

tie Girl.
Charles Packer, proprietor of small
bakery on Front street, was arraigned
in the police court yesterday charged
with attempting to rape the six year old
daughter OF George Elm,Of 621 Virginia
avenue. Friday evening Mrs. Elm sent
her two little girls, one six and the
other three years old, to Packers bak-
cry, to purchase a loaf of bread. The
children were absent about half an hour,
and when they returned the elder girl
appeared flushed and excited. In an
swer to her mothers question she told a
most revolving tale. She said Packer
had taken her upon his lap, and after
making indecent proposals and
exhibiting his person, had attempted to
outrage her. The mother called Officer
WeinStOck, who went to Packers shop
and arrested him at once. In the police
court yesterday the mother and two lit
tie girls appeared to give testimony
against Packer, but Judge Cory refused
to admit the evidence of the children, on
the ground that they were too young,
and after hearing the evidence of Mrs.
ELM sand Officer Weinstock, and the
testimony of Packer, who admitted hav-
ing taken the child in his lap, the case
was dismissed. County Attorney Egan
did not like the ruling of Judge Cory,
tand has signified his intention to bring
the matter before the grand jury.

great towns in Persia, though its use is
unknown among the tribes who form al
least a third Of the whole population, Is
chung to by the women as a privilege; it
is in fact a domino. The Persian woman
out OF doors is unacceptable even by
her husband. She sees without being

detect the g Of the wearer. As the
Persian lady is nearly always married at

80 she appears so, and there are only two

Polygamy is the luxury of the rich;

either a marriage for love or for the graft

brings home a second wife there is usually
a scene which lasts for a week or two;
thare is a struggle for supremacy, but it
is o over. Both wives do their best
to please the master of the house. but
they do not attempt 10 poison each other,

But Persian ladies still believe in the
efficacy Of love philters, and many an
abomination is secretly administered to
unfortunate husbands. Happily, the

horrible ingredients, is quite harmless

A revolutionary soldier had been in
dicted for passing counterfeit money.
Charles n. Lee defended the silver haired
veteran on his trial. The evidence
against him was clear, and there was not
a shadow of doubt of his guilt. Still, he
was a man who had followed Gen. Mad
Anthony" Wayne up the craggy steep Of
Stony Point, on the dark night of July
IS, 1910, when that fortress was carried
by storm.
Lee summed up the case with rare
yehemencs, graphically described the
bloody attack on Stony Point, and, with
tears dripping down his cheeks, implored
the jury to acquit the old soldier. 1t
was not then known that the foreman of
the jury had been with the defendant on
the perilous night. The jury were out
an hour. When it returned, the clerk
asked:

Any striking event or piece OF ncv. :
unusually eagerly discussed by the : ,
troops. and in the ranks military or F.;
were as plenty aud perhaps more vo.
than among the officers. Not so witt LIZ
blacks; important news, such as that he,
fore us, after the bare announcement, was
usually followed by long silence. They
sat about In gpsups Studying" us
they called it. They waited, like the
Quakers, for the spirit to move; when the
spirit moved one of their singers would
uplift a mighty voice, like a BARD of old,
in a wild sort of chant. II he did not
strike a sympathetic chord in his hearers,
if they did not find in his u~tterance an ex-
ponent of their idea, he would sing it again
and again, altering sometimes the words
or more often the music. II his changes
met general acceptance one voice after
another would chime in; a rough harmony
of three parts would add itself; other
groups would Join his, and the song be-
came the song of the command.
The night we learned that we wero to
lead the charge ION the explosion of the
Petersburg mine the news filled them too
full for ordinary utterance. The joyous
negro OUTLAW always breaking out about
the campfire ceased. They formed circles
in their company streets and were sitting
on the ground intently and solemnly
studying" At last a heavy voice began
to sing Wee looks Like me-en IA
marchin' On, we looks like men-er-war."
Over and over again he sang it, making
slight changes. The rest watched him
intently; no sign of approval or disap-
proval escaped their lips or appeared on
their faces. All at once, when his refrain
had struck the right response in their
hearts, his group took it up, and shortly
half a THOUSAND voices were appraised. 1t
was a picturesque scene-these dark men,
with their white eyes and teeth and
full red lips, crouching over a smold-
ering campfire, in dusky shadow,
with only the feeble ray of the Ian
terms of the first sergeants and the
lights of the candles dimly showing
through the tents. The sound was as
weird as the scene, when all the voices
struck the low 'E" Qast note but one,
held it, and then rose to ga" with a
portamento as sonorous as it was clumsy.

People generally ask as to another
country, what sort of food did you
have?" Well, to choose out the most
genuinely Dutch dishes, we had, perhaps,
potato PURGE, or bouillon, favored with
chervil, and containing balls of veal force
meat. The fish might be soles or plaice,
but, to give me kindly a more national
delicacy, we had water bass from the
canals sometimes. These are about the
size of our trout, and are served up, half
a dozen or so, in a deep dish, swimming
in the water they are boiled in, favored
with '.flat leaved parsley" CThe Eng
lish name for this plant / cannot say, it
being strange to me, but my cousin Hugo
declared it unknown to u.s. Water bass
are eaten with thin sandwiches of rye
bread; but without the latter, and the
bread and butter only, l thought them
excellent.
Another night we had a jack, done
Dutch fashion. When boiled, all the
small bones were removed, and the fish
chopped up and mixed with butter. pep
per. onions and savory herbs. Then,
rolled back into fish like shape, the jack

Dessert over, both ladies and gentle

for coffee, which is drank in the smallest

china. Such a set with us would be be-
hind a glass case. Then come liqueurs-
oognac and aniseed, the latter being a
favorite. The gentlemen went out this
warm evening to smoke their cigarettes
on the terrace for a little while. Then

One Of the simplest Of barometers is a
spiders web. When there is a prospect
of rain or wind, the spider shortens the
flaments from which its web is sus-
pended and leaves things in this state al
long as the weather is variable. II this
insect elongates its threads, it is a sign of
fine, calm weather, the duration of which
may be judged of by the length to which
the threads are let out. II the spider re-
mains inactive, it is a sign of rain; but If,
on the contrary, it keeps at work during
a rain, the latter will not last long, and
will be followed by fine weather. Other
observations have taught that the spider
makes changes in its web every twenty
four hours, and that if such changes are
made in the evening just before sunset,
the night will be clear and beautiful
